The Dell Inspiron 15R that has been made available to us for the purposes of the review has a Core i5 430M with a clock speed of 2.27 GHz, four GB DDR3 RAM from Hyundai Electronics as well as the entry-level graphics card ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5470 with 1024 MB GDDR3 VRAM. Consequently the built-in hardware is identical to the Inspiron 17R that we have already reviewed.As is typical of Dell, you can customize your prospective laptop to your individual desires, so that your own demands are fulfilled.For this reason, sections that are greatly dependent on the deployed hardware, like performance, emissions and battery life, are only partly transferable to a differently equipped Inspiron 15R.According to Dell's intention, this should on the one hand bring the display closer to the user whilst additionally offering the advantage of being able to pick up the laptop from the rear much more easily.Also, several colours can be chosen, which should spruce up the laptop even further. The Dell Inspiron 15R is, according to the manufacturer's homepage, available in four colours. Ex works you have to settle with black, which Dell calls Marks Black and which should appeal to customers that prefer a classic look. For those that just want more colour, our test model also comes in Peacock Blue, Lotus Pink and Tomato Red. If you want to call a Dell Inspiron 15R notebook your own in one of the three fancy colours, you're met with a modest surcharge of 29 Euro.In the central area of the display rear there's the well-known Dell logo. Just as visually pleasing is the chrome wrist rest, in the middle of which the keyboard is embedded, together with a separate number pad. Apart from the touchpad, the surfaces of the Inspiron 15R are rather lustrous, where the wrist rest has got a brushed silver finish, so that visible fingerprints are greatly diminished - this is in contrast to the black display rear, on which you can see such remains particularly well. As for stability, the Dell Inspiron 15R has luckily inherited the good qualities of its big brother. Thus our test device is also very resistant to selective pressure and subsequently makes an impression of being really stable and robust.
You can also be pleased with the workmanship. The individual components blend into teach other cleanly, without leaving behind sharp edges.The 15.6-inch display is held firmly and stably in position by two hinges with a slight see-sawing. Opening the display takes place without any great physical effort from your hands and without giving off unpleasant squeaking noises in the hinges.The Inspiron 15R has reflective display with a diagonal display size of 40 cm, which the manufacturer describes as a TrueLife high-definition WLED display. The built-in display has an aspect ratio of 16:9 and is also HD ready (720p) with its maximum resolution of 1366x768 pixels. When playing HD videos there's a thoroughly sharp and clean image, with realistic colours that are convincing.Dell equips the Inspiron 15R range with the newest CPU and GPU generations. Thus the Inspiron 15R is available with Core i3 and also with the more potent Core i5 processors. However, weaker CPUs are also present in the Inspiron 15R portfolio, like, for example, the Intel Pentium processor P6000 at 1.86GHz for small wallets. As for GPU, the already integrated Intel Graphics Media Accelerator HD comes into play, or respectively an optional dedicated graphics card, the ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5470, with 1024 MB GDDR3 memory, as was the case in our test model.Thanks to the combination of Intel's Core i5 430M processor and the ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5470, the Inspiron 15R has more than enough performance reserves for the most popular everyday tasks like office applications, surfing the internet, writing e-mails, watching HD films or playing MP3s, or respectively letting these run simultaneously.Our test device is equipped with a Core i5 430M, whose two cores go to work with a clock speed of 2.27 GHz. Thanks to HT (hyper-threading) these two cores are capable of computing with up to four threads at the same time. Furthermore, the Core i5 430M also has the Turbo Boost feature, which can underclock unused cores to save energy, whilst automatically increasing the core speed up to 2.53 GHz, as long as additional performance is needed.
